History

The institution was established by Pakistan Air Force[16] near Tejgaon Airport, East Pakistan now Birsreshto Shaheed Jahangir Gate, Dhaka Cantonment, Dhaka, Bangladesh on 1 March 1960 for the children of the Air Force personnel as Shaheen School, an English-medium school.[17] Later in 1967 Bengali medium was introduced along with English medium. After the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971 Bangladesh Air Force has been running this educational institution. Meanwhile, Shaheen School was renamed as "Shaheen High School" and within a few years was recognized by the Dhaka Education Board. In the academic year 1977-78 Shaheen High School was renamed "BAF Shaheen College Dhaka" for the purpose of upgrading it to a higher secondary college.[18] Degree (pass course) was introduced in the academic year 1990-91 and since then BAF Shaheen College Dhaka continues to function as a degree college. However, the degree was abolished from the academic year 2006–07. At present, the college conducts educational programs from infant to class 12 as per the rules of the Directorate of Primary Education, Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education, and Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Dhaka. In the academic year 2006, English version was introduced along with Bengali medium according to the educational policy of the NCTB. Extracurricular activities[19] offered at BAF Shaheen College Dhaka are many and varied. In addition to established sports,[20] the college also has more than 20 extracurricular clubs including Air Scout groups, Bangladesh Girl Guides Association and BNCC Platoon.[21]

Academics

Teaching is done in Bengali and English.[22] The institution has three parts:

  • Primary Division (KG to Class V)
  • Junior Secondary and Secondary (6th to 10th Class)
  • College (Class XI & XII)

School Authority releases an admission circular for KG class every year[23] (both an English version and Bengali-medium), and the college authority publishes an admission circular every year after the publication of the Secondary School Certificate results. New students (both boys and girls) are admitted to the 11th grade via online applications.[24][25]

Sports and Hockey field

BAF Shaheen College Dhaka has several playgrounds for sports.[26] BAFSD has teams for football, cricket, squash, basketball, table tennis, hockey, badminton, handball, and volleyball that participate in national and regional games.[27][28][29]

BAF Shaheen College Dhaka hockey field in Dhaka is the home ground for BAF Shaheen College Dhaka Hockey Team. It is the only institutional hockey ground in Bangladesh to contain artificial turf.[30] A number of national-level tournaments are held there every year. It was constructed in 2014 to provide better infrastructural facilities to its hockey team and giving opportunities at the school and college level to arrange tournaments of international standard.[31] Its construction began in December 2014. It was opened at the end of that month, making it the first artificial hockey turf of institutional level in Bangladesh.[32][33][34]
